10 The wind and rain turn the tide

Previous Chapter

In the seventh year of the Song Dynasty, the last emperor of the Liao State, Emperor Tianzuo, was finally captured by the Jin soldiers and escorted to the "Shangjing" of the Jin State.

Jin Taizong received Emperor Tianzuo, who was a captive, and named him the king of the seaside, and the Liao Kingdom was finally destroyed, and the whole Jin court celebrated. The generals of the Jin State who pursued Emperor Tianzuo presented to Jin Taizong the letters that Song Huizong had previously sent to Emperor Tianzuo expressing his willingness to form an alliance from the things next to Emperor Tianzuo. It turned out that the Song family saw that the Jin country was powerful, and they actually wanted to join Liao to make gold, so the envoy held a letter to find Emperor Tianzuo, who had fled to the border, and expressed his willingness to rebuild the old friendship with the Great Liao and fight against the Jin together. When Jin Taizong saw this alliance, he was furious. Wanyan Zonghan, the general on the side, took the opportunity to suggest to Jin Taizong: "The Southern Barbarian Song people are capricious, on the one hand, they signed an alliance with my Dajin, and on the other hand, they took advantage of the time when my Dajin invaded Liao, secretly communicated with the Liao Emperor and formed an alliance, both wanting to join my Dajin to destroy Liao, and wanting to join the Liao Emperor to destroy my Dajin, his heart can be punished, and I implore Your Majesty to issue an order, and the minister is willing to immediately lead the army south to invade the Song Dynasty as a punishment."

Wanyan Zongwang, who is known as the "Bodhisattva Prince", disagreed, and persuaded: "When the first emperor was alive, he once said that my Dajin must abide by the covenant with the Song family, not that the first emperor was afraid of the Song family, but it was actually prescient. The minister had traveled south to the Song State, the land was wide and the people were numerous, and the number of elite soldiers and good generals was far from being comparable to that of the Liao State, only because the Song Emperor was mediocre and the traitorous ministers were autocratic, so they lost in the military affairs one after another. If I fail to take the vast country of the Song Dynasty in one go, I am afraid that my soldiers and horses will be trapped in it, and a protracted war will not be conducive to my Dajin. I implore the emperor to think twice! ”

Jin Taizong is not unaware that Wanyan Aguta insisted on forming an alliance with the Song family, and he heard that the Song Dynasty was vast and populous, and the capital was prosperous, but he and Jin Taizu's ideas were different, in his opinion, the monarch and the ministers were incompetent, and there was no role for good generals and elite soldiers, and the Song Dynasty was not afraid, so he was not willing to form a friend with the Song Dynasty at all, and he had a good opportunity for the Song Emperor to secretly communicate with the Liao Emperor's evidence, and he must take advantage of this to invade the south.

Jin Taizong said to Wanyan Zongwang: "Make a wolf, take a thousand sheep!" With my tiger and wolf army against the weak soldiers of the Song family, it is really a victory. As for the Song family, the country is wide and has its own talents. But don't the Song people also have such a saying? It is said that the generals are incompetent, and the three armies are exhausted! Now that Emperor Song is mediocre and treacherous, even if there are strong generals and elite soldiers, they are helpless, what is there to fear? But what Zong Wang said is very true, and you must not underestimate the enemy! In this southern invasion, everything must be perfected, so Zong Wang and Zong Han will each lead an army, divide the east and west two roads to the south, and join the army in Song Jing Kaifeng! ”

Wanyan Zonghan was very happy and took the order to go, although Wanyan Zongwang was not happy, it was difficult to disobey. In accordance with Jin Taizong's will, the two began to prepare the grain, grass and ordnance needed to invade the Song Dynasty in the south.

In October of that year, Jin Taizong issued an edict to crusade against the Song Dynasty. When he set out on the expedition, Jin Taizong heard that there were a lot of martial arts talents in the Central Plains, and this time Wanyan Zongwang led the East Road soldiers to the Song Jing Kaifeng Mansion City, Jin Taizong was worried about the safety of Wanyan Zongwang, and specially summoned Wanyan Zongwang before leaving, and gave his personal guard, the first master of the Jin country, Wanyan Xiaohong, to Wanyan Zongwang's side, and ordered Wanyan Xiaohong to protect Wanyan Zongwang with all his might, and obeyed all the bequeaths of Prince Zongwang.

Wanyan Xiaohong received the order in front of the palace, turned to Wanyan Zongwang and said: "I have heard for a long time that the Bodhisattva Prince will win the battle and conquer the battle, and he is really the first hero of my Dajin to destroy Liao, Xiaohong was able to protect the prince's side, and he can be regarded as doing his best for my Dajin to destroy the Song Dynasty, I am deeply honored!" ”

Wan Yan Zong saw that Wan Yan Hongfang's face was resolute, his face was frosty, and he knew at a glance that his temperament was quite deep. Although he is the first master of Dajin, but he is wearing a green cloth robe, not like the Jin people's clothing, Wanyan Zongwang has heard that this person has been a teacher of the Han people, the internal strength is extremely profound, in addition to the horizontal practice of a King Kong is not bad Golden Cover Bell Kung Fu, but also can be the mighty "Sun Covering Fist Method", and the feminine and shadowless "Missing Moon Palm Method" into one, if it is not a natural martial arts genius, it is difficult to achieve this Yin and Yang combination of profound martial arts, he also has a lot of respect for him, and knows that he is a royal family member, so Lang Jun complimented: "Please don't be polite, go south in the future, Shang Lai Wanyan Langjun will help with all his might, please don't be polite. ”

"Do what you should do, you must do your duty!"

Wanyan Xiaohong responded, and then went with Wanyan Sect to bid farewell to Jin Taizong.

At the same time, the Song court was glad that the feud Liao State was destroyed, and did not expect that the Jin State was about to invade the south. October 10 coincided with the birthday of Song Huizong, the palace held a grand celebration, the famous prostitute Li Shishi in the capital was also among them, Song Huizong was happy, personally composed poems and waves, the government and the opposition are in jubilation, even if someone enters the need to guard against the wolf ambition of the Jin country, often blocked by Tong Guan, Cai Jing and others and difficult to reach the heavens, even if it can be transmitted to the ears of Song Huizong, he does not believe it at all, does not take it to heart.

Although Master Li was in the Qinglou, he understood the righteousness and was favored by Song Huizong, so he asked himself that he should repay the grace of the Holy Grace, and deliberately took advantage of the opportunity to sing for Song Huizong in the celebration to make a new song, the meaning of the words is a metaphor for being prepared for danger in times of peace, and satirizing the court for indulgence and comfort, hoping to wake up Emperor Huizong. Emperor Huizong's daughter, Emperor Maode's concubine Zhao Fujin, known as the most beautiful princess, has always been friendly with Master Li, seeing this, got up and walked to Master Li's side, comforting her:

"Don't be surprised, today is my father's birthday, so my father only wants to be happy in his heart, and he doesn't want to listen to the ear advice, which is inevitable, we will wait for the opportunity to advise another day."

Master Li stroked the strings of the piano with his hand, and said with a sad face: "I'm afraid that when the Holy Lord's wish to listen to the advice, the country will already be in turmoil..." ”

"No, it's not that serious, you can relax." Zhao Fujin comforted Master Li, but he was also worried in his heart.

Since Dugu Jue was wronged and regarded as the murderer of Shen Chong, he was separated from Shen Ran, and after returning to Tumi Villa, he closed the village and did not see outsiders. When Murong Jiaojiao saw Dugu Jue's return, she pretended to be nothing, as if she had never gone to Zhenjiang Mengxi Garden without permission, and had never intended to assassinate Shen Chong in front of the grave of Dugu Jue's parents, as if she had been quietly staying behind Tumi Villa, waiting for her Dugu brother to return. Dugu Jue was quite sorry for taking out a sword in front of his parents' grave to block Murong Jiaojiao that day, so Murong Jiaojiao didn't mention it, and Dugu Jue didn't want to say more, and the two had a tacit understanding from then on, and there was no mention of the Shen family in the conversation.

Murong Jiaojiao is still the same as before, often by Dugu Jue's side, accompanying him to practice swords, accompany him to drink, accompany him to play the piano, and accompany him to the garden, but the two of them are always separated by a Shen Ran in their hearts, and they can no longer return to the two little guesses when they were childhood sweethearts. Dugu Jue once expressed his heart to Murong Jiaojiao, saying that although he had no chance with Shen Ran in this life, he would not marry another woman, but Murong Jiaojiao said that no matter how painful the past was, there would be a day when she would forget, and she was willing to wait for the day when Dugu Jue forgot Shen Ran. When Dugu Jue heard this, he could only shake his head and remain silent.

In order to please Dugu Jue, Murong Jiaojiao would often chat with Dugu Jue about the interesting things he had heard outside the village, and talked about the southern invasion of the Jin Kingdom. She told Dugu Jue that she heard that Wanyan Zongwang, the bodhisattva prince of the Jin Kingdom, had led his troops to cross the Yellow River and had already killed outside Kaifeng City, so frightened that Emperor Huizong hurriedly passed the throne to his son Emperor Qinzong, and retired as the emperor himself. also said that after Qinzong succeeded to the throne, he immediately negotiated peace with Wanyan Zongwang, but he was humiliated. Now the Central Plains Martial Arts is also boiling when he hears about this. In the afternoon of this day, Murong Jiaojiao mentioned to Dugu Jue the matter of the various sects plotting to assassinate the commander of the Jin soldiers:

"I heard that the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Xuchenzi, has gathered a group of masters from various sects, and wants to take advantage of the great opportunity of Yan Zongwang stationed outside Kaifeng City to snipe Yan Zongwang with all his might!" Murong Jiaojiao knew that all the major sects had enmity with Dugu Jue, so he also hated the major sects, and said sarcastically: "It's a pity, the Jin camp is well defended, and those famous and decent people bully my Dugu brother very much, and when he encounters the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom, he can't do anything, and he attacked the camp several times, and he was beaten out by the Jin soldiers before he even finished Yan Zongwang's handsome tent, and he was beaten out by the Jin soldiers. ”

After Dugu Jue heard this, he only responded indifferently: "I was originally a descendant of Xianbei from Western Xia, what did Song Jin do with me?" Murong Jiaojiao looked at Dugu Jue, who was depressed, and fell into a deep groan.

Murong Jiaojiao secretly told himself that no matter what, he had to try to get Brother Dugu back up. Since he loves Brother Dugu deeply, even if he knows that Brother Dugu's heart has long been occupied by Shen Ran, he still wants to do everything possible to please Brother Dugu, even if he wants to become another Shen Ran, he will not hesitate to do so.

The next morning, Dugu Jue walked out of the room, not yet out of the village, but met Shen Ran in the courtyard, saw his longing for the dyed sister quietly standing by the pond in the village, Dugu Jue was surprised and happy, without thinking too much, he walked to Shen Ran, and called to Shen Ran's back: "Dye sister, why are you here?" ”

Shen Ran turned around and threw himself into Dugu Jue's arms without saying a word. The moment Dugu Jue hugged Shen Ran, he was suspicious for a moment, and then pushed Shen Ran away. It turned out that Dugu Jue, with his sense of smell and touch, had already discovered that the person in front of him was not Shen Ran at all, but Murong Jiaojiao was disguised. In fact, he should have been able to detect it the moment he saw his back, but it was only because he was too longing for Shen Ran that he was confused for a while.

Dugu Jue scolded angrily: "Sister Jiao, why are you teasing me like this? ”

Murong Jiaojiao tore off his mask, and said with tears in his eyes: "I know that Brother Dugu only loves Shen Ran and doesn't love me, but it doesn't matter, as long as Brother Dugu likes it, I am willing to pretend to be Shen Ran every day to please Brother Dugu!" ,”

Dugu Jue sighed: "Sister Jiao, why bother like this..."

"It's not bitter, it's not bitter at all!" Murong Jiaojiao wiped away her tears: "Brother Dugu doesn't like Murong Jiaojiao, and I don't like Murong Jiaojiao either." From now on, I will no longer be Murong Jiaojiao, I will become the Shen Ran who is deeply loved by Brother Dugu's heart. Even if I have to pretend to be Shen Ran for the rest of my life, as long as I can make Brother Dugu happy, as long as I can stay with Brother Dugu for a lifetime, I will be satisfied. ”

"Enough! Sister Jiao, no matter how clever your disguise technique is, you are not Shen Ran, you are Murong Jiaojiao. You want to pretend to be Shen Ran and stay with me, this affection, my brother is very moved in my heart, but what kind of person are you as a brother? How can you do this to your own deception? With that, Dugu Jue turned his head and went back to the room.

Murong Jiaojiao stood alone by the courtyard pool, looking at her lonely figure reflected in the pool, and a moment of sadness came from it, she fully understood that no matter how much she paid to Brother Dugu, it might be in vain. Her pent-up emotions finally exploded, despair, grief, shame, resentment... Tangled with her full of distress, she actually caused the poisonous wound in her body again, and the red spots on her face spread rapidly, and then she fainted to the ground. Dugu Jue heard the sound and hurriedly picked up Murong Jiaojiao and ran to find Mrs. Murong and Aunt Bi. Fortunately, after Mrs. and Aunt Bi joined forces to administer intensive medication and dietary conditioning, Murong Jiaojiao gradually recovered after a few days.

After this incident, Dugu Jue and Murong Jiaojiao became even more estranged from each other, and they were often relatively speechless. Murong Jiaojiao was saddened, and even took the initiative to apologize to Dugu Jue, and promised that he would never do the same thing again in the future. Dugu Jue knew Murong Jiaojiao's deep affection for him, and he couldn't bear to blame, so he just kept silent. However, no matter how indifferent Dugu Jue's attitude is, Murong Jiaojiao is still inseparable, always following Dugu Jue's side, no matter where Dugu Jue goes, she must follow wherever she goes.

I heard Murong Jiaojiao talk about the southern invasion of the Jin soldiers, as a Dugu clan from Western Xia, but grew up in the Great Song Dynasty, Dugu Jue was not completely indifferent to the southern invasion of the Jin soldiers, but because he had always hated the corruption of the Song Dynasty, and he had a deep grudge against the master children of many sects of the Central Plains martial arts under his sword, although he heard Murong Jiaojiao talk about the failure of the Central Plains martial arts people to attack and kill Yan Zongwang, he did not particularly take it to heart. However, the Jin soldiers were stationed outside Kaifeng City and could break the capital Kaifeng at any time, which made him quite worried about his friend Li Shishi in Kaifeng City, and decided to go to Kaifeng City to visit Li Shishi.

Dugu Jue originally wanted to visit by herself, but Murong Jiaojiao insisted on accompaniing, and said that she hadn't seen Sister Li for a long time, and she also missed Sister Li and the like. Dugu Jue knew that she had different hearts, and he didn't bother to argue with her, so he agreed to let her go together.

At that time, Zhou Bangyan had passed away, and Master Li lived in the drunken apricot building in Jinxian Lane. Jin soldiers are in the city, stationed outside the city of Kaifeng in Beijing day and night, the situation is quite critical, Dugu Jue came to the Golden Line Lane where Master Li lived in the evening, he found that there are many martial arts people in the alley are going in and out one after another, and he was suspicious, so he did not enter for the time being, first drank with Murong Jiaojiao in the inn at the entrance of the alley, and waited until the dead of night, and then sneaked into the drunken apricot building of Master Li with Murong Jiaojiao.

Master Li was extremely happy when he saw Dugu Jue coming, and saw Murong Jiaojiao following behind him, and greeted Murong Jiaojiao first: "Sister Murong is also here, I haven't seen her for a long time, and her fate is even more cute!" ”

Murong Jiaojiao replied softly: "Sister Li said she laughed."

Master Li turned his head to look at Dugu Jue: "Dugu Shaoxia, you have come just in time!" Shaolin abbot Xuchen led the Central Plains martial arts people to attack and kill Yan Zongwang, but never succeeded, today I came to ask me to help, I heard that you have been in the martial arts in recent years, if you go with you, you will be able to kill Yan Zongwang. ”

Dugu Jue had already wondered why this operation was led by the Shaolin abbot, and why Ye Wuxian, who had always been a good person, did not come forward, so he asked Master Li: "I want to think that the "sword spirit" Ye Wuxian pretends to be a chivalrous man, and likes to lead the Central Plains martial arts the most, why didn't he take this opportunity to be the leader of the martial arts alliance again this time, and led the various gate factions to assassinate Yan Zongwang?" ”

"Tried it a long time ago! The abbot of Xuchen and the heads of the major sects in the Central Plains once looked for Ye Wushu together, and asked them to go to the national disaster together, but they were rejected by Ye Wuxian. Master Li said angrily: "I think that Ye Wuxian is a hypocrisy of benevolence and righteousness, he actually said that the Jin soldiers are under Kaifeng City, and the newly enthroned Emperor Qinzong is negotiating peace with Wanyan Zongwang, if he assassinates Wanyan Zongwang at this time, he is afraid that it will affect the peace talks between Song and Jin, so he is unwilling to participate, and he advises everyone not to go." ”

Dugu Jue said "um" and said: "As everyone knows, Ye Wuxian has a gap with me, but I can't talk nonsense because of people, Ye Wujue's words are actually not unreasonable, when Song and Jin were discussing peace, after assassinating Yan Zongwang, I am afraid that it will anger Jin Bing, and the capital division will be in danger!" ”

Li Shishi retorted: "Everything has different opinions, and they all have their own reasons, Ye Wushu can say that the assassination of Yan Zongwang may affect the peace talks between Song and Jin, but the major sects in the Central Plains think that once Yan Zongwang is stabbed to death, the Jin soldiers besieging the city will lose their commander and will retreat from chaos, and the Song soldiers will take advantage of the victory to pursue, annihilate in one fell swoop, and never suffer in the future, wouldn't it be better?" ”

Dugu Jue smiled and shook his head, and said: "Senior Sister is right, there are two sides to the matter, there are positive and negative, and the views of the Abbot of Xuchen and the Central Plains Martial Arts Sect also have their own truth, but I don't know how Senior Sister who has no martial arts can help them?" ”

Master Li leaned on the side of the piano and said with a smile like a flower: "According to Shaoxia, how does my piano art look?" ”

Dugu Jue also smiled: "Senior sister's art is contemporary, the beauty of the country, the world knows everything, how can I be blind Dugu Jue?" ”

Master Li stroked the strings lightly, and pretended to be glamorous: "In this way, if I am willing to go to Jinying to perform for Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongwang will be willing to accept me?" ”

Dugu Jue understood, and sneered: "The Great Song Dynasty has a man in vain, and it is only thanks to the senior sister that the beauty plan can assassinate Yan Zongwang at close range, and the Central Plains martial arts will take a break from now on and then pretend to be a master, so simply disperse the various sects and factions!" ”

Master Li saw that Dugu Jue angrily reprimanded the various sects, and knew that he was really worried about himself, so he said softly: "This is also a woman who does not let her eyebrows, how can Dugu Shaoxia underestimate women?" The abbot of Xuchen and the masters of various factions have tried to assassinate Yan Zongwang many times, not only did they fail but also lost a lot of chivalrous people, so they had no choice but to come to the door and ask me to help, and enter the gold camp in the name of performing arts, so that they could pretend to be my entourage and assassinate Yan Zongwang closely. ”

Murong Jiaojiao saw that Master Li's eyes were charming and his figure was soft, when she talked to Dugu Jue, although it was unintentional, she still naturally showed a beautiful appearance, she was already quite jealous of Master Li's beauty and art, and she didn't want Dugu Jue to take risks for him, worried that Dugu Jue should enter the gold camp in order to protect Master Li, so she hurriedly interjected and said: "Sister Li wants Brother Dugu to join forces with all major sects to assassinate Yan Zongwang together, I'm afraid it's absolutely impossible!" ”

Master Li raised his eyebrows: "How do you say this?" ”

"Sister Li, don't misunderstand, I'm really kind." Murong Jiaojiao said with sincerity on his face: "I think that all the major sects of the Central Plains Martial Arts have been defeated by Brother Dugu's sword, and falsely accuse Brother Dugu of colluding with the Demon Sect first, and then killing Shen Chong, everyone is called a "Sword Demon", and they really hate my Dugu brother to the bone. Sister Li wants Brother Dugu to join forces with the major sects, even if Brother Dugu ignores his past suspicions, can those sects have this mind? I'm afraid that I will join forces on the surface, but secretly poison my hands, won't it ruin Sister Li's big thing? ”

Master Li fell silent when she heard this, she thought, at the moment of national crisis, the Central Plains martial arts should have joined hands to resist foreign insults. But Murong Jiaojiao is also right, the main parties of Dugu Jue really hate it, even if she rubs it out and persuades him to join forces, it is difficult to ensure that there are not a few people with chicken bellies and birds, and they are in the dark attack, so wouldn't it be chaotic?

After thinking about it at this point, he had made up his mind, and said: "What Sister Murong said is very true, it turned out that my sister was too careless and thought about this matter too easily!" Sister thanked Sister Murong for reminding me. ”

Dugu Jue has been thinking about it for a long time, and he is sure that the Central Plains Martial Arts will not tolerate him, and he is thinking about how to open his mouth to refuse Master Li, but fortunately, Sister Jiao broke the matter and saved him more words.

So far, the three of them have been relatively silent, Master Li quietly stroked the qin, Dugu and whispered, and Murong Jiaojiao sat by the window and looked at the endless night until early morning.

A few days later, Master Li really went to Jinying with his snake belly piano in the name of performing arts. Master Li's name moved the world, how could Wanyan Zongwang not know that he would immediately ask for an extension of the account. But she can only take a few people with her as an entourage, so those who go to the Jin camp with her are the heads of the various sects, including Xuchen, Tian Dayi, Tianyou Dao Chang, Leng Wuyan, Wei Du, Yun Ion, etc., because they are the boss and VIPs, the masters of this trip successfully passed through the well-defended Jin Camp and entered the handsome tent of Wanyan Zongwang. Wanyan Zong saw that Master Li really had a brilliant face, and what was even more rare was that he had an elegant temperament, like an orchid like a lotus, which made him quite fond of him, and sat on the tiger chair and asked with a smile: "I have heard that Miss Li is unique in the world for a long time, and I can see it today, how fortunate is it." ”

Master Li saluted Wanyan Zongwang and said, "Don't dare, thanks to the prince's wrong love." Today, the saint is seeking reconciliation with the prince and the two kingdoms, and will always be an ally, although the concubine is a woman in the Qinglou, she is also willing to perform to help the peace negotiation, if there is a bad situation, please forgive the prince. ”

"Miss Li is too modest, Zong Wang is looking forward to listening to Miss Qingyin, please take a seat." Wanyan Zongwang raised his hand and motioned for Master Li to sit down.

Master Li sat down, stroked the piano and sang, tactfully and clearly, very beautiful. Wanyan Zongwang was deeply intoxicated, closed his eyes and listened, and his mind was rippling, Xuchen and the heads took the opportunity to move, although there were golden soldiers in the tent, but the heads of each faction were extremely high in martial arts and unexpected, Wanyan Zongwang was caught off guard, and was almost killed by the Shaolin abbot Xuchen, the heads were happy, and suddenly a person flashed out, and the left hand was about to finish Yanzong looked back and pulled away, and the right fist hit out and connected with the palm power of Xuchen, Xuchen only felt that the opponent's internal force was surging like a tide, and he knew that he was invincible, and retreated a few feet, which dissolved the opponent's internal force, but he was still boiling, and had to stand up to breatheand can no longer be palmed back. That person seemed to have infinite internal force, and it was another punch, and the void dust in front of him was about to be injured under that person's fist, Tian Dayi and Tianyou Dao Chang shot at the same time, which could be blocked. It turned out that person was Wanyan Xiaohong, the number one master of the Jin Kingdom who was sent by the Jin Taizong to protect Wanyan Zongwang. Just a moment of blocking, the masters led by Wanyan Xiaohong and the Jin soldiers outside the tent had already rushed up, and Xuchen and the others not only lost the opportunity to assassinate Wanyan Zongwang, but fell into the encirclement of the masters and guards of the Jin Kingdom. Seeing that the momentum was not right, Xuchen pushed Master Li out of the tent, and signaled Wei Du and Leng Wuyan to protect Master Li to go first, and he broke off with Tian Dayi and Tianyoudao. Wei Du and Leng Wuyan rushed to the outside of the tent with Li Shishi, but they were entangled by the Jin soldiers, and it was difficult to get out, seeing that there were more and more Jin soldiers, and the encirclement was getting denser, Wei Du desperately rushed to kill, and pushed Li Shishi out of the tent again, letting her go first, but was stopped by the Jin soldiers, and several big knives had been cut down towards Li Shishi.

Seeing that Master Li was about to die under the golden sword, he suddenly saw the green mang flashing, and several big knives that slashed at Master Li had already landed, and then a white shadow swept in, followed by Murong Jiaojiao, who was dressed in colorful clothes, it turned out that she and Dugu Jue had arrived. Murong Jiaojiaoyun made the stars move, pulling the golden soldiers to cut each other, Dugu Jue's soft sword danced lightly, sharp like a star, and the cold light rose everywhere, instantly stabbing most of the masters of the Jin Kingdom beside Master Li. Wanyan Xiaohong saw that Dugu Jue's swordsmanship was strong, and let go of Xuchen, Tian Dayi and Tianyou Dao Chang, and directly attacked Dugu Jue. The two were about to fight, when they suddenly heard Yan Zongwang shouting loudly: "Stop!" Third brother, is that you? Do you still recognize your brother? ”

Dugu Jue looked fixedly, and called him to stand beside the tiger chair in a gorgeous costume, it was actually his eldest brother Wan Yanzhong who worshiped with Feng Lei Ye on the slope of the sand dune. I saw Wanyan Zongwang walking towards Dugu Jue with surprise and joy, and the golden soldiers outside the tent all stopped their swords and stood solemnly, only Wanyan Xiaohong still followed vigilantly.

Dugu Jue was stunned and said: "You are the eldest brother, Wan Yanzhong..., I understand, you used a pseudonym back then." ”

"The third brother is really quick-witted, and he can guess it!" Wanyan Zongwang held Dugu Jue's hand: "The eldest brother's real name is Wanyan Zongwang, when he was swearing with you and the second brother, he really had the trouble of not revealing his identity, so he assumed the name Wanyan Zhong, and asked the third brother not to be surprised." ”

"The eldest brother is a royal family of the Jin Kingdom, and he has traveled to the Central Plains under a natural pseudonym, what is the strange thing about the foolish brother?" Dugu Jue followed Yan Zongwang into the account, and the two sat opposite each other, and Murong Jiaojiao was also invited to accompany him. The rest of the Central Plains heroes and Li Shishi were guarded outside the tent by the masters and elite soldiers of the Jin State.

The two were very happy to reunite after a long absence, and after drinking three glasses of spirits, Wanyan Zong looked at Dugu Jue and chatted about the past when he fought against the Seven Heroes of Hesu with Feng Lei Ye, and sighed: "I think my brothers are like-minded, but since Lingjiang Garden parted, they haven't seen each other for a long time. Now the brothers are going to the west and the east, and even each is his own master, which is inevitably emotional. ”

Dugu Jue remembered that he had just broken into the account and injured Jin Bing with his sword, and said apologetically: "Big brother, forgive me, my foolish brother has no malice in this trip, just because Master Li is my old friend for many years, and I can't bear to save it." ”

"Yes, Brother Dugu did not conspire with the Central Plains Martial Arts to assassinate you, don't get me wrong!" Seeing the defeat of the Central Plains group of heroes, Murong Jiaojiao was worried about Dugu Jue's safety, so he hurriedly interjected and explained: "Brother Dugu also tried to persuade Senior Sister, but she didn't listen, and Brother couldn't bear not to save him, so he offended you." I heard that you are kind and known as the Bodhisattva Prince, you will not be surprised! ”

Wanyan Zongwang glanced at Murong Jiaojiao and said: "Don't say that the third brother is not complicit, even if he is an accomplice, he doesn't know that the person who the Central Plains martial arts people want to assassinate is me, and it is very natural to stand in the position of the Song family." Then he asked Dugu Jue, "Who is this girl...?" ”

Dugu Jue said: "Tumi Villa, a descendant of the Murong family, Murong Jiaojiao, the younger sister of the foolish brother who grew up together. ”

Wanyan Zongwang nodded: "It turned out that after Gusu Murong, a famous family, he had an extraordinary temperament!" Back then, in Ye Wuxian's Lingjiang Garden, the third brother first wanted to protect the Murong family, and then refused to serve as the leader of the alliance to besiege the Ming Sect, and did not hesitate to be the enemy of the Central Plains Martial Arts because of this, and the eldest brother admired it very much! Thinking of fighting side by side with the second and third brothers again that day, but due to the situation, they were unable to get together and talk freely, the eldest brother still regrets it to this day! ”

When Dugu Jue heard Feng Leiye's name, he couldn't help but feel sad and was silent. Wanyan Zong looked at Yan Guan and knew what he meant, so he said: "The third brother is strange for the second brother to take refuge in Tong Guan?" Do you know that the second brother really has unspeakable hardships? ”

Dugu Jue said happily: "Has the eldest brother seen the second brother?" Do you know why he took refuge in Tong Guan's troubles? Since he has taken refuge in Tong Guan, why did Tong Guan hurt his meridians and make him lose all his internal strength? ”

"The second brother is bitter in his heart, and the eldest brother doesn't know in detail, he doesn't want to say more, and I don't want to ask more, but it must be related to Mingjiao, and the eldest brother believes that the second brother is by no means a traitor!" Wanyan Zongwang General Feng Lei Ye once came to Jin with the envoy of the Song Dynasty, and the two met because of this, and they told Dugu Jue about it. He said worriedly: "Previously, Jin and Song were friendly allies, so when the second brother left, I sent someone to Kaifeng with the second brother on my behalf, originally to secretly protect the second brother, Tong Guan will not embarrass the second brother for the sake of my envoy's face." But now that the two countries are fighting each other, the people I sent to accompany my second brother have not heard from me for many days, which makes me quite worried. ”

Speaking of this, Dugu Jue took the opportunity to intercede with Wanyan Zongwang for Master Li: "Big brother, Master Li and the Central Plains Wulin mistakenly thought that if they assassinated you, they could break the siege of Feng, although it was a foolish move, but from the point of view of the Great Song Dynasty, it was a loyal and righteous trip, and the foolish brother begged the eldest brother to let them go, which is also a good thing for the current peace between the two countries." What's more, there are many people in the Great Song Dynasty, and Dajin has only destroyed Liao not long ago, so he should first take a good rest and recuperate, and it is not easy to invade the Song Dynasty at this time. ”

After listening to Dugu Jue's words, Yan Zongwang pondered for a moment and said, "What the third brother said is very true! The eldest brother traveled to the Central Plains under a pseudonym before, and deeply felt the prosperity and wealth of the Song Kingdom, if Jin and Song were not in harmony and fought for a long time, it would not be beneficial for my Dajin, and it would only displace countless innocent people, which was not what the eldest brother was happy to see. But my Dajin Emperor is angry that Emperor Song and Emperor Liao secretly communicate with each other, the first rat and the two ends, this battle is not the eldest brother I can agree, but the eldest brother will definitely try his best to promote peace, even so, I am afraid that Emperor Song will cut a few pieces of fat to give to my Dajin Emperor. ”

After that, Wanyan Zongwang ordered someone to release Master Li and the Central Plains Martial Arts and send them outside the tent.

Dugu Jue waved his hand and thanked: "The eldest brother has the world in his heart, and the foolish brother respects him deeply, please stay here, my three brothers will have a day when they will meet again, and they will drink and get drunk together." ”

Wanyan Zong saw that the Central Plains Martial Arts was still showing murderous intent towards him, and knew Dugu Jue's good intentions, so he said: "Okay, the third brother is here, you must cherish it, those individuals don't know what to do, and they may not be able to lead you to save you." I will send someone to inform Emperor Song of what you said about peace talks, and it will be agreed quickly. ”

"Big brother, don't worry! I came here to save my bosom friend, and I didn't care what the martial arts people in the Central Plains thought of it. Even if they don't know what to do, they can't be embarrassed by the foolish brother when they think about it! After finishing speaking, Dugu Jue turned around and left with Murong Jiaojiao, Master Li, and the Central Plains Heroes.

Soon, Wanyan Zongwang really accepted Song Qinzong's peace proposal and returned to Jin with his troops.

Not long after Dugu Jue, Murong Jiaojiao, Master Li and the Central Plains Qunxia left the Golden Camp, people from various sects came to respond. Dugu Jue thought to himself that everyone had escaped from danger, and he didn't have to go along, so he said goodbye to Shaolin Abbot Xuchen. Unexpectedly, the four major leaders of Tianyou Daochang, Leng Wuyan, Wei Du, and Yun Ion and their children suddenly surrounded Dugu Jue, angrily accusing him of colluding with the commander of the Jin soldiers, and plotting to rebel against the Song Dynasty and attach Jin.

Dugu Jue thought to himself, the eldest brother guessed accurately, but he didn't know what to do. But he didn't make a bad sound, and said calmly: "I married Jin Lan with the Bodhisattva Prince, and the Song and Jin knot were good allies at that time, so why did you betray the Song Dynasty?" My Dugu clan is a member of the Xianbei clan, and I have no intention of interfering in the dispute between Song and Jin, and this trip is just to save my bosom friend Miss Li. At this point, the words suddenly turned sonorous: "However, if you don't distinguish between right and wrong, you will definitely have trouble each other, then don't blame me for the ruthlessness of my long sword!" ”

Xuchen swept in front of Dugu Jue, and said to the four masters: "Everyone, listen to me." The personal relationship between Dugu Shaoxia and Wanyan Zongwang is not very clear to the poor monk. But Shaoxia's rescue of me is equal to the golden camp, but it is a fact, if I wait for the young man to embarrass again, it will inevitably be regarded as a favor and revenge, please think twice! ”

Although Tian Dayi also hated Dugu Jue's efforts to provoke the beggar gang, he had to be able to lead the first gang, and he really had a good mind, and he also saw that the four major leaders wanted to use this excuse to avenge their personal revenge. He has always been bold, laughed, and then said: "The abbot is right! If Dugu Jue wants to carry Song and attach Jin, he and Wanyan Zongwang are sworn brothers, and he can just take the opportunity to let the Jin soldiers kill us, wouldn't it be a great achievement for him? I don't have a good impression of Dugu Jue, but if you want to take the opportunity to declare your personal vendetta, I can't stand it! Then, he said to Dugu Jue: "This time I rescued you, thank you to Dugu Shaoxia." But you were unclear with the Demon Sect before, and now you are a brother and sister with Wanyan Zongwang, although it is not a rebellion against the Song Dynasty, but you are not my friend of the Central Plains martial arts. See you in the future, if the young man still helps the Demon Sect or the Golden Man, I, Tian Dayi, will definitely not let you go! ”

Dugu Jue sneered, and said no more, he saw that the Shaolin abbot and the beggar gang leader came forward to speak, and he knew that the four major leaders would definitely know the difficulty and retreat. As for what Tian Dayi said about how to meet in the future, he had nothing to fear, let alone care.

The four major sects really withdrew from the siege, and everyone went away with Xuchen and Tian Dayi.

When Master Li saw the Central Plains heroes disperse, he was speechless, and he didn't know where to go for a while. Dugu Jue said that he was willing to send her back to the drunken apricot building in Kaifeng Jinxian Lane, Li Shishi told that since the death of Zhou Bangyan last year, she lost this year-old bosom friend, already quite lonely, now Jin Guobing is under the city, Emperor Huizong is not only cowardly, but also immediately passed the throne to his son, he retired to the Taoist Emperor Taishang, and fled to Maozhou, to the south of the Yangtze River, this move made Li Shishi extremely disappointed and sad, she has been tired of the prosperous capital, and does not want to go back to Kaifeng, but there is nowhere to go for a while, so hesitation. Dugu Jue thought of the deceased Zhou Bangyan, and felt sad in his heart, so he invited Master Li to go to Tumi Villa with him and Murong Jiaojiao to live temporarily.

After Master Li lived in Tumi Villa, because she had contacts with court officials and people in the rivers and lakes, people often came to visit Tumi Villa, and Master Li learned about the situation of the government and the opposition, and often told Dugu Jue everything he knew.

In the afternoon of this day, Master Li and Dugu Jue burned incense and drank tea in Shuying Xuan, and Master Li sighed through the window: "Although Wanyan Zongwang has led his troops to leave, it is not yet known how long this peace agreement can last. And in the court, treacherous and power-grabbing, above the rivers and lakes, there are endless disputes, and now it seems to be peaceful, but the mountains and rain are coming, I really don't know what to do? ”

Dugu Jue comforted: "The affairs of the temple, no one can interfere, the rivers and lakes are strife, they have their own famous and decent families, why should the senior sister be too worried, don't you ask for trouble?" ”

Master Li stroked the incense on the stove: "The young man doesn't know, the court war and uncertainty are just that, the Central Plains martial arts last time after the assassination of Yan Zongwang, it seems to be united, but in fact it is just an illusion, there are grievances between the various sects, Tong Guan is playing with it, and today's people in the rivers and lakes are already the best; the second was bought by Tong Guan and acted as a tiger; Even more so than those who are lower, there are quite a few people who fall to the Jin Kingdom and become its minions, and those who can really ask for the people's lives are really very few, and they are really called chivalrous in vain. ”

"According to the will of the senior sister, those who practice martial arts should ask for the people's lives to be not in vain to be called chivalrous? So, the Ming Sect asked for the people's lives, why did the imperial court regard it as a traitor and still arrest its followers? Dugu Jue stared at Master Li, he knew that Master Li wanted him to come forward, but in his heart, it was righteous to resist the invasion of Jin, but how could the Song court ever appease the people and appease the orphans, was it really worth his life for the Song court?

Master Li whispered quietly: "When the Ming Sect started, the Emperor Tai of the Dao Emperor originally issued an edict to recruit peace, but unfortunately the sect leader did not obey, and because Tong Guan was eager to make meritorious contributions, I am also extremely sad to this day." Think about the millions of people and heroes, if they can fight against the court wholeheartedly, what a beautiful thing it would be? ”

Dugu Jue shook his head and said: "It's late! The imperial court spared no effort to provoke incidents, and so far it has not repented, and it still arrests Mingjiao, how can it win the hearts of the people and regret it? ”

Master Li hurriedly argued: "However, those who practice martial arts should help the weak, and in today's national crisis, if they can't work together to resist foreign insults, won't they lose their chivalrous name and heroic nature?" Does the young man think so? ”

"Chivalry violates the ban with martial arts, all dynasties and dynasties, all the world's people are served, how can they ever pity the suffering of the people? People who practice martial arts ask for the lives of the people, and they are competing with the imperial court, so how can they say that they work together with them? ”

As soon as Dugu Jue's words came out, Master Li couldn't help but be terrified: "On the day of peace, there were occasional officials who oppressed the people, and chivalrous people asked for their lives and violated the ban with force, which is indeed righteous. Now that the Jin Kingdom invades the Song Dynasty at any time, they are both the people of the Great Song Dynasty, so they should be one of the government and the opposition, not to mention the people of the rivers and lakes with superb skills? Could it be that the young man would rather see the Jin soldiers go south and the people will be miserable than come to the rescue? ”

Dugu Jue got up suddenly: "I will kill the weak and evil people under my sword, regardless of their national identity!" Song officials bully the people, I will kill them! Jin Bing bullies the people, I will kill them! The thieves in the rivers and lakes bully the people, and I want to kill them even more! This is my generation's duty to learn martial arts, and it should be done. The world is so big, where is there no injustice? Where is there no shortage of evil officials and thieves? It's inexhaustible, so although it's my duty, it's not what I want in the end. ”

Master Li was puzzled and asked: "If chivalry and righteousness are not the first priority, I don't know what young heroes want to practice martial arts?" ”

Dugu Jue was silent for a moment, and slowly responded: "Enlighten the Tao with martial arts, and create the heavens and the earth!" ”

Master Li sighed: "I don't mean that when the young man was only standing, he already had the idea of being out of the dust." ”

Dugu Jue plucked the strings lightly: "Senior sister is good at the piano, how can she not know the sayings of "music and gods, the expression of benevolence" and "the sound of the big sound, the elephant is invisible"? In the eyes of Confucianism, music can educate the world, but in the eyes of Taoists, it is the Tao with music. Martial arts are also the same as joy for me, not only can I enter the world and help the weak, but why not come out of the world and enter the Tao from martial arts? ”

"The theory of young heroes is like the so-called ten thousand methods of Buddhism. Such ambition is far beyond the reach of teachers. ”

"Senior sister said that I laughed, I Dugu Jue is just a martial artist, it is difficult to get rid of seven emotions and six desires, and I need to smell the fragrance and taste the tea!"

As he spoke, the two raised their glasses and drank tea with a smile.

At this time, the swordsman hurried in and whispered a few words in Dugu Jue's ear, Dugu Jue nodded to the swordsman and said, "Just ask them to sit in the Houke Pavilion outside the village!" ”

The sword servant left, and Master Li asked each other to find out that it was the Emperor Daojun who sent the three major guards in the palace to find the Tumi Villa in order to find her.

Emperor Huizong, who had fled to Maozhou and then Zhenjiang since his abdication as Emperor Taishang, accepted the invitation of Emperor Qinzong, who was on the throne of Chan, and planned to return to Kaifeng. On the way, I heard that Master Li and the martial arts people failed to assassinate Yan Zongwang, and remembered this famous prostitute who was both beautiful and artistic, so he sent three guards in the palace to find her.

The three guards were originally the three brothers of the same mother, namely Gongsun Yu, Gongsun Ying, and Gongsun Xiu, the old ambassador sword, the second double knife, and the third were masters of secret weapons, and the martial arts of the three brothers were not trivial, so they were known as the three guards in the palace and served the emperor beside him. Their name is Baizhuang, and they are actually acting according to orders, and they cannot be stopped by Dugu Jue, and they can't be disobeyed by Master Li.

Dugu Jue persuaded Master Li to sit quietly, and he went to send the three major guards, and he went to return immediately. Master Li knew that the holy order was difficult to disobey, if he didn't show up, he was afraid that the three guards would not be willing to give up, and insisted on going out of the village to meet each other, and Dugu Jue naturally accompanied him. Sure enough, although the three guards were polite, they said every word, and they clearly wanted to force Master Li to go to see Emperor Daojun.

Master Li refused, and thanked Gongsun Yu: "Please forgive me and transfer it to the emperor, the concubine was born in the Qinglou, and she was favored by the emperor and can perform in the palace, which is really encroachment." Now that the Jin soldiers have retreated, the national disaster is not over, and the Emperor Taishang should support the current saint to deal with the government. The concubine is very good in Tumi Villa, and when the mountains and rivers are clear, she will definitely go to meet the emperor. ”

Gongsun Yu smiled and said: "I can't be the master of this matter, and I also ask Miss Li to go with my brothers to see the Emperor, if you have anything to say, you can say it to the Emperor in person!" ”

Master Li shook his head and was silent.

Gongsun Ying, who was the most anxious among the three guards, raised the double knife in his hand and shouted: "It's polite to say a word of invitation, the Emperor Taishang has a decree to order you to go, do you want to resist the decree?" ”

Dugu Jue suddenly looked up to the sky and laughed, Ziwei's soft sword was immediately unsheathed, and with two taps, Gongsun Ying only felt a slight shock from the tiger's mouth, and the double knives had fallen to the ground, and he couldn't help but take a few steps back in shock.

"Dare to ask when the Bodhisattva Prince led the army to surround the outside of Kaifeng City, where were the three guards?"

Gongsun Ying said angrily: "Since you are guarding the Emperor Taishang to go to Haozhou temporarily, what does this matter have to do with you?" ”

Dugu Jue instantly put his sword back into its sheath and said leisurely: "I'm just curious, when the three major guards treat the army of the Jin Kingdom, can they be as arrogant as they are to Miss Li?" Or did the three guards only dare to bully weak women, but when they saw the army of the Jin Kingdom, they were like frustrated dogs with their tails between them? ”

When Gongsun Ying heard this sarcastic remark, he was furious, leaned over and picked up the double knives, and was about to pounce immediately. Gongsun Yu dodged to block it, and saluted Dugu Jue and said: "It is rumored that the Dugu Shaoxia in the rivers and lakes is unparalleled in swordsmanship, today's matter, my three brothers are really in accordance with the will of the Emperor, I have to obey, can the young man allow me to take Miss Li to return to life, the Emperor has always favored Miss Li, and will not embarrass her, after some time, I will personally escort Miss Li back to Guizhuang, how about it?" ”

The words were soft, just because Dugu Jue's sword just now was how to pick down Gongsun Ying's double swords, even Gongsun Yu, who was a famous sword master, couldn't understand it. This kind of swordsmanship is terrifying and terrifying, Gongsun Yu thinks that he is not Dugu Jue's opponent, so he softens his tone, hoping that Dugu Jue can let them take Master Li away.

Dugu Jue smiled and said: "I also have a discussion, please ask Lord Gongsun to bring Miss Li's original words back to Maozhou, and tell the Emperor, if the Emperor is determined to want Miss Li to go, I will personally send Miss Li to see the Emperor in Maozhou, how about it?" ”

Gongsun Yu knew that Dugu Jue refused to let go, and this matter was already difficult to get right, so he glanced at Gongsun Ying and Gongsun Xiu, and without speaking, he immediately started to besiege Dugu Jue. Dugu Jue gently pushed Master Li towards the sword servant with one hand, guarded by the sword position and the family, and waved the purple Microsoft sword with the other hand to fight with the three major guards. He used a sword-breaking style and a knife-breaking style to deal with Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Ying, and at the same time listened to the wind to distinguish the shape, shook the soft sword, and the sword light turned into a thousand swords, shooting down the hidden weapons sent by Gongsun Xiu one by one. However, after more than ten moves, Gongsun Yu and Gongsun Ying's long swords and double knives have been picked off by Dugu Jue, and Gongsun Xiu has also been injured by the hidden weapon that Dugu Jue hit back with a soft sword.

After seeing the three guards stay away, Dugu Jue turned around and wanted to enter the village with Master Li, when he suddenly felt a hot air behind him, and immediately rushed forward, but the heat did not follow behind, the enemy was behind, and it was difficult to see, if he ran forward, he was afraid that the enemy would hurt Master Li, and if he turned around recklessly, he was afraid that he would sell a flaw. It's really a dilemma, Dugu Jue's mind turned, the sword was horizontal, struck back, took advantage of the momentum to turn around, the person's moves in the air changed again, the soft sword stabbed from the bottom up, and with a local sound, Dugu Jue felt a slight numbness in his arm, and then he saw clearly that there was a middle-aged man about forty years old in front of him,

The middle-aged man was born with a rich and noble atmosphere, and his eyes looked him up and down like electricity, as if he was quite appreciative of Dugu Jue's swordsmanship. Dugu Jue stood still, and was surprised to find that the middle-aged man in front of him did not have any weapons in his hand, and his Ziwei soft sword was almost broken if it was not for the flexibility of the sword body. What a terrible air sword! Dugu Jue immediately thought that the person in front of him must be Huangfu Xiao, who is known as the number one master in the inner world. Because of the martial arts rumors, the Huangfu Xiao boy once became a monk in Tianlong Temple and then returned to the world, and Tianlong Temple is famous for the Qi Sword of the Six Veins Divine Sword. Although Huangfu Xiao never mentioned his mentorship to anyone, his qi sword revealed his martial arts origins.

"Huangfu Xiao?" Dugu Jue asked, "Is it the rumored six-vein divine sword that Your Excellency has made?" ”

"Down there is Huangfu Xiao, Dugu Shaoxia and don't ask me what kind of martial arts I do, I want to know who taught you Ling Bo Weibu?"

Dugu Jue guessed correctly, the middle-aged man in front of him was Huangfu Xiao, he used qi as a sword, and he had already been alone in the Central Plains martial arts for many years, but he was still alone when he entered the palace for some reason. This time, the Emperor sent three guards to come to Tumi Villa, although he has lived in the palace for a long time, Huangfu Xiao is still well aware of the affairs of the rivers and lakes, he has heard that Dugu Jue of Tumi Villa is known as the sword demon, quite curious, so he quietly followed the three guards to come, and saw that the three guards were defeated under the sword of Dugu Jue, and he had not met an opponent for many years.

Dugu Jue was surprised: "Teach me Ling Bo Weibu is a senior monk in the world, and Lord Huangfu can actually recognize the next stepwork?" ”

"Outside the world..."Huangfu Xiao pondered for a moment: "I understand, it must be the former Vulture Palace Master Xuzhu, and the person who can make Ling Bo micro-step in the world today is not a member of the Duan family of Dali, or a descendant of the Xiaoyao faction." I didn't expect Dugu Shaoxia to have this blessing, and he had to pass on his art, no wonder the three Davids in the palace are not your opponents! ”

Hearing Huangfu Xiao mention the three major guards in the palace, Dugu Jue asked, "Could it be that Lord Huangfu's trip is the same as the three major guards, and he wants to persecute Miss Li?" ”

"I didn't follow the holy order, what does Miss Li have to do with me? But you defeated the three major guards as soon as you made a move, if I sit idly by, won't you let me see no one in the Great Song Palace? ”

Huangfu Xiao has a very high opinion of himself, he just sneaked up from behind, but he missed a blow, he was already deeply annoyed, and he didn't want to take advantage of Dugu Jue anymore, so he said: "Today you have already fought with the palace guards, even if I defeat you at this time, I will not be able to win." Three days later, you and I will be here to decide again! ”

Huang Fu Xiao said, with his hands on his back, he walked slowly, his body footwork was extremely chic and free, Dugu Jue knew at a glance that Huang Fu Xiao's footwork was also Ling Bo micro step, it seems that he had indeed been trained by Dali Duan's family.

After Huangfu Xiao left, Dugu Jue and Master Li returned to the village. He himself pondered and meditated in the martial arts hall by himself, but he couldn't think of how to crack Huangfu Xiao's qi sword. Although he is gifted and can see fast and slow, any move can find flaws in his eyes; He created his own unique sword technique to break the sword style, which can anticipate the enemy's opportunity first, and it is indispensable to attack the enemy, but Huang Fu Xiao's qi sword is invisible and shadowless, and he can't see or feel clearly, let alone find a gap and break the move. However, even if he is bound to lose, Dugu Jue will not miss the appointment with Huang Fu Xiao, because he and Huang Fu Xiao are both arrogant people, and they would rather die than fight.

At night, Dugu Jue practiced swords in the hall, thinking about how to crack Huangfu Xiao's qi sword, and suddenly heard a pipa sound, coming from outside the hall, and the tune played was extremely exciting, it was actually "King Qin's Breaking Array Music". Dugu Jue looked at the door, and it turned out that Master Li knew that he was dancing and practicing in the hall, and he was in harmony with the sound of the piano outside. "King Qin Breaking Array Music" was originally Tang Taizong's favorite music, the momentum was like thousands of troops galloping wildly, Dugu Jue was deeply shocked, his ear power was already sensitive to ordinary people, this "Qin King Breaking Array Music" was bounced in Master Li's exquisite finger skills, making him feel like he was in the midst of a million male soldiers, and there seemed to be countless swords, guns, swords and halberds stabbing at him in all directions. In a trance, Dugu Jue listened to all the passionate tones into a ruthless move, he walked out of the hall, and cast the crape myrtle soft sword in the courtyard in the music, from the sword-breaking style, the knife-breaking style, the rope-breaking style... When he used the palm-breaking style, he always felt that no matter how fast his sword moves were, he couldn't break the sword moves from all directions at the same time, just like when he faced Huangfu Xiao, he didn't know where his qi sword would come from.

Dugu Jue abandoned his sword in despair, looked up to the sky and sighed, only to see the starry sky vast, and stabbed at him like countless sword moves. Suddenly, Dugu Jue seemed to have an understanding, turned around and walked in front of Master Li, the two glanced at each other, Master Li knew that in this moment, Dugu Jue's martial arts swordsmanship had reached a higher level, the sound of the piano stopped, and he took out a pot of warm wine, and the two laughed and drank each other under the starry sky. Murong Jiaojiao quietly turned sideways, she originally cared about Dugu Jue, but she bumped into Dugu Jue and Master Li laughing and drinking with each other, jealousy, her eyes glared at Master Li like flames, and then sighed lightly, and her expression turned around and disappeared, like a gray shadow.

Three days later, Huangfu Xiao came to the village as promised, and Dugu Jue had already been waiting for a long time. It was when Chen and Chen did not intersect that the sunlight shone on Lonely Jue from behind Huangfu Xiao, stinging Dugu Jue's eyes. Dugu Jue's vision is different from ordinary people, but because he is too sensitive, he has always been afraid of strong light, and he needs to concentrate his mind with internal force in order to control his overly sensitive facial features. But at this time, Dugu Jue deliberately let himself face the blazing sun, and let the blade-like white light blind his eyes, he wanted to use this pain to force his greatest potential. Dugu Jue knew that under the strong light, although his eyes were nearly half-blind, his sense of hearing would become more sensitive, and although Huang Fu Xiao's qi sword was invisible and shadowless, when the air sword came out of his fingers, there was still a slight sound, he had to grasp the moment when the air sword sounded, it was the only moment he could defeat Huang Fu Xiao, fleeting.

Dugu Jue didn't know which of his fingers Huang Fu Xiao's qi sword would come from and from which direction, so all his sword moves in the past, whether complicated or dexterous, no matter how fast as lightning, no matter how much he expected the enemy to be the first, it was useless, because the opponent's moves were only between five fingers, no matter how fast his sword was, it couldn't be as fast as Huang Fu Xiao flicked his fingers, and no matter how much he looked for the gap, it was difficult for him to find the opportunity to break the move from Huang Fu Xiao's rotating fingers. However, the "Qin King Breaking Array Music" played by Master Li the night before, and the starlight in the sky, made him suddenly understand that no matter how complicated the move is, if he can defeat the opponent, it will only be one move in the end. He loses in one move, and wins only in one move; A hundred moves to defeat people, and the final win is still one move. He realized that clumsiness is the best way to learn martial arts.

Huangfu Xiao and Dugu Jue were opposite, the two of them didn't say a word, at that moment, the two of them felt each other, and they both understood that they only had one move, and if they couldn't beat each other in one move, they would inevitably be defeated.

Dugu Jue's eyes widened in the dazzling sunlight, enduring great pain, Huangfu Xiao's figure gradually turned into a black shadow, and then gradually even the black shadow disappeared, leaving only the vague outline in the strong light, he felt that the sunlight passing through the blurred outline of Huangfu Xiao, each of them seemed to make a very slight sound, even the sound of the light flying he seemed to hear, what sound he couldn't hear? Then, he suddenly heard an extremely piercing "snort", and the crape myrtle soft sword in his hand stabbed at the speed that the emperor couldn't see even if he couldn't see the roar of the emperor. The tip of the Ziwei soft sword pierced through Huang Fu Xiao's qi sword, although the qi sword was strong and invisible after all, it could shatter the sword body but could not break the sharp sword tip, and in an instant, Dugu Jue's purple soft sword had pierced Huang Fu Xiao's index finger and cut through his palm, if it weren't for Dugu Jue's feeling of pity at that moment, I was afraid that Huang Fu Xiao's right palm had been cut off by the Ziwei soft sword.

"You could have broken my wrist vein..."Huangfu Xiao looked at a stream of blood flowing from his palm, but he knew that the wound was not deep, and Dugu Jue showed mercy under the sword.

"I don't kill chivalrous people under the sword of Dugu Jue!" Dugu Jue retracted his sword and froze, he felt that the dazzling sunlight gradually dissipated, and Huangfu Xiao gradually appeared from the dark shadow.

"What a sword demon, I'm convinced." Huang Fu Xiao said, and actually cut off the tendons and veins of his right wrist with his left hand.

"It's worthy of being the number one master in Ouchi, and I'm also convinced." Dugu Jue understood that Huang Fu Xiao was unwilling to accept his mercy, so he broke his wrist, Huang Fu Xiao's right hand was abolished, and the air sword of Dubu Jianghu was no longer seen, this kind of arrogance made Dugu Jue deeply admired.

Huangfu Xiao didn't say a word, turned around and walked away slowly, he walked very slowly, very slowly, he knew that Dugu Jue would not make up another sword from his back, but at the same time, how much he hoped that Dugu Jue could stab him to death with a sword.

After this battle, Dugu Jue defeated Huangfu Xiao with a clumsy victory, and finally followed the seven-style swordsmanship of the palm-breaking style, and created the qi-breaking swordsmanship.

When Dugu Jue and Huangfu Xiao duel, because they were accompanied by Master Li, Murong Jiaojiao deliberately hid behind. Seeing her Dugu brother defeat Huangfu Xiao and his swordsmanship to the next level, Murong Jiaojiao was also happy for him. But she saw Master Li guarding with concern, remembering that a few days ago, Master Li helped Brother Dugu understand swordsmanship with the sound of the piano, and watched Brother Dugu and Huangfu Xiao fight a decisive battle, and then entered the village with Master Li and laughed and talked about drinking in Shuying Xuan, and her heart was quite unpleasant, so she went out of the village alone to relax.

She came to the dense forest where Dugu Jue practiced swords in the past, the eagles and tigers that were raised for Brother Dugu's sword practice in the past have all returned to the mountains, and the forest is empty. Just when he was secretly sad and sighing alone, someone suddenly appeared in the forest, Murong Jiaojiao was startled at first, and then looked closely, it was Mo Guyan here.

It turned out that Mo Guyan was infatuated with Murong Jiaojiao, and he had come to Tumi Villa in private many times, and he knew that his swordsmanship was not as good as Dugu Jue, and he knew that Dugu Jue was very hostile to him. Therefore, he didn't dare to post a post or break into the village, so he had to linger outside the village to wait, looking forward to waiting for Murong Jiaojiao to see her when he left the village. Today, he saw Dugu Jue defeat Huangfu Xiao from a distance, and the high swordsmanship made him unreachable, and he felt the same sense of loss, and walked to the dense forest where Murong Jiaojiao tricked him into looking for the jewel at night, and he really met Murong Jiaojiao, who he had been thinking about for a long time, and he was pleasantly surprised in his heart.

"Miss Murong, you... How did you get here? When Mo Guyan saw his sweetheart, he seemed at a loss to speak.

Murong Jiaojiao replied angrily: "This is the place where I accompanied Brother Dugu to practice swords in the past, can't I come, shouldn't I come?" I guess I'm asking what you're doing here, right? ”

Mo Guyan couldn't say that he had been guarding outside the village many times, and when he remembered the matter of the jewel, he said: "I came here to find the lost jewel for the girl..."

"It's an excuse when you hear it!" Murong Jiaojiao snorted lightly. She knew that Mo Guyan was very infatuated with her, although she didn't like Mo Guyan, but she was also happy that someone was so fond of her. Mo Guyan mentioned the matter of finding the orb, which reminded Murong Jiaojiao of the night when he fought with the tiger and the eagle in order to retrieve the orb for himself, and his heart was also slightly moved, and his expression was unconsciously much more pleasant.

Mo Guyan looked at Murong Jiaojiao's expression and asked boldly: "Miss Murong is full of worries, but is there something difficult?" Tell me that wherever I can, I will solve the girl's problems! ”

Murong Jiaojiao raised his eyes and looked at Mo Guyan: "Really?" One Shen Ran is enough to upset me, and now there is another Master Li, how can I be happy? Can you relieve me of such sorrows? ”

Mo Guyan looked at Murong Jiaojiao's clever eyes and looked forward to it, and he was pitiful, and he wanted to rush out and agree to Murong Jiaojiao, but then he thought again, Shen Ran is Dugu Jue's sweetheart, Master Li is Dugu Jue's confidante, and his swordsmanship is not as good as Dugu Jue, how can he get rid of her two rivals for Murong Jiaojiao? sighed suddenly: "The girl's difficulties are really not solvable below. I'm afraid that the bell still needs to be tied to the bell, and the girl has to relax first. ”

"It's really that easy to say?" Murong Jiaojiao seemed to be slightly disgusted, but said in a charming tone: "If I can let go of Brother Dugu, can you let go of me?" ”

Mo Guyan hurriedly said: "This, this... It is difficult to match with the girl, and I dare not have any wrong thoughts about the girl, as long as the girl does not dislike me, and allows me to meet occasionally, I will be satisfied. ”

Murong Jiaojiao said gently: "Mo Shaoxia is too humble, you are the son of the sword spirit, and I am just an unknown woman, how can there be any mismatch." ”

"No, the girl is the famous Gusu Murong, how can she be a nobody?" Mo Guyan lowered his head and whispered: "As for me, although I am the righteous son of the sword spirit, my swordsmanship is actually not taught by my father-in-law, I don't know why, my father-in-law never taught me swordsmanship, but only ordered me to do things for him." Therefore, I'm a righteous son, I'm afraid that even my apprentice is not as good as an apprentice. ”

Murong Jiaojiao listened to Mo Guyan's tone and seemed to have a grudge against his stepfather Ye Wuxian, and asked in wonder, "Why is the sword spirit unwilling to pass on your swordsmanship?" If you are his righteous son, how can you be inferior to your disciple? ”

Mo Guyan raised his head and sighed: "The girl doesn't know, I have been practicing swords since I was a child, and my master is also a senior master of martial arts, known as the sword god." It's a pity that the master passed away early, I couldn't fulfill the true transmission of the master's swordsmanship, and then I met the master's enemy, when my swordsmanship was not successful, almost died, just Ye Wuxian passed by, and was saved by him. Ye is not injured and has no children, I worship him as my father-in-law in order to repay the grace of saving my life, and serve him wholeheartedly, but he knows that my swordsmanship has not been successful, although he has also made some adjustments, but he never passed on his spirit swordsmanship to me. My father-in-law's sword spirit is famous, and he has a life-saving grace for me, so I dare not disobey and never question my father's orders, but in recent years, some of my father-in-law's actions have made me feel suspicious. ”

When Murong Jiaojiao heard this, he became curious and asked, "What did Ye Wujiao do that made you feel suspicious as his righteous son?" ”。

Mo Guyan shook his head and was silent and did not answer. Murong Jiaojiao said angrily: "Hmph, don't say it, forget it, I don't like to listen to it yet!" ”

"Please forgive me, girl, there is indeed a hardship in the future. Seeing the girl today is already a blessing of God, so I will say goodbye to it, and I look forward to the time when we will meet in the future. After that, Mo Guyan disappeared in disgrace.
